The Pieces of the Jigsaw are beginning to come together

Pendle Red · 01-05-2009, 16:54

As we look back on another successful league season, there were the highs of almost turning over Wolves in their own backyard, gaining four points from our Lancashire counterparts Morecambe as well as doing the double over league 2 newboys Port Vale, taking league one side Tranmere to a live replay in the FA Cup, the first league hat-trick by a Stanley player for nearly fifty years, the tremendous run in March which yielded four wins and two draws.

There were lows like the home capitualtion against Bradford City in the last ten minutes of the game, the last minute equaliser for the "Champions" Brentford, at times we have made the headlines for the wrong reasons.

But that's what makes being a Stanley fan exciting, you just never know what's around the next corner

I think as a whole the team have played far better football this season, with the tightning up at the back, more flair in the midfield engine room and genuine exciting wide players on the wings, the only thing we have missed is a genuine 20 goal a season striker.

Without wholesale player changes during the close season and a few additions including a quality striker, the seats now in place, our managerial duo signed up and record season ticket sales.

Things are beginning to look a lit bit more rosier

Bring On Next Season

(Play-offs here we come)

well i fer 1 am looking forward to next season, n agree was much better standard of football played this season, though i can only compare with season before, as fer a 20 goal a season striker though, more chance of the Pope turning Protestant.

Great post Pendle Red

Must agree with everything you have said and like you, would love that big, ugly, goal-getting striker and maybe, just maybe we will find him this summer !!!!

Coley and Jimmy have found the Keeper (Kenny), Defender (Edwards), Midfield (Jimmy) so all we need now is that striker and bang route to league 1 here we come!

Red and white army!

Don't worry they are crossed! Not counting my chickens early just think next season will be very good even if we don't get in the play-offs.

That's the only problem at every level of football strikers are hard to come by at the right price, but if Stanley keep on building eventually they make div1, but Rome wasn't built in a day
